The endless

Kookaburras laugh

Into the darkening descent of day

A moon waxing

Her chest full of pressure

And nowhere for it to go

But into the sky

And I take mine to the page

To leverage the word

And bend it into the shape of immense feeling

But it’s a mugs game

This poetry

For every word I expel from the chaos

Another loops

Waiting

In the end

It must be asked

If language is the thing that contributes most

Rather than diminishing

Anything

Only silence

Listening

With soft eyes

Open mind

To a world full of noise

Then falling beneath it

One layer

At a time
